“In 2017, we shred over 140,000 POUNDS OF PAPER and collected over $11,000 for the local chapter and local charities.

With the awareness of identity theft, it is important to carefully dispose of personal records including financial and medical records. The Austin chapter of ARMA along with AARP, Austin Community College, Austin Resource Recovery, ATI SecureDocs, Balcones Shred, Iron Mountain and Shred-It are sponsoring the 15th annual Free Spring Shred Day on Sat, April 28th, 2018 from 8am – 1:30pm (or until trucks reach capacity).

The event will be held at the ACC Highland campus (523 E Highland Mall Blvd). Only dry paper packed in cardboard boxes no larger than 24 x 24 x 36 inches with fitting lids will be accepted (securely closed box flaps are also acceptable). Please do not bring hard plastics, plastic bags, electronic media, batteries or three-ring binders.

All of the shredded material and cardboard boxes are recycled. Monetary donations will be accepted with 50% of the funds going to the Austin ARMA chapter and 50% going to the Central Texas Food Bank.
